AeroSaver™ Aerodynamic Trailer Side Skirts by Fleet Engineers

Fleet Engineers AeroSaver™ Side Skirts for trailers is an innovative solution designed to increases fuel savings up to 7% and improve control and stability for driver peace of mind. The AeroSaver™ panels guide the air flow around the sides to the back of the trailer reducing the drag under the trailer where the air hits the I-beams and rear axles. The durable, lightweight panels are so easy to install you only need one person — saving time and money in installation and maintenance costs. Our patented bracket design provides more road clearance than the competition without sacrificing fuel savings and do not require holes in the frame of your trailer.

The AeroFlap’s patented, diamond-patterned design allows air and water to flow through the flap, rather than just into it. The AeroFlap does the job of a regular mudflap, but because it doesn’t smash water droplets on contact, it actually reduces rain spray, thereby creating a safer environment on the road. Due to the way air is channeled through the flap, the AeroFlap breaks up the trailing air vortex, further reducing drag and venting heat away from brakes and tires. Studies have shown that using aerodynamically efficient mud flaps improves fuel efficiency.READ MORE

The Quest for 10!

Henry Albert is, above all, a truck driver. Owner of Albert Transport, Inc. based in Statesville, North Carolina, Henry’s driving and relentless pursuit is fuel mileage. There’s not a day on the road Henry doesn’t dutifully record exactly how many miles his truck ran per gallon of fuel. With daily variables such as weather, load, and terrain factored in, over time Henry has learned every secret to improving his fuel economy, and improving his own bottom line as a result. Henry was named in 2007 “Trucker of the Year” by Overdrive Magazine, is part of the Team Run Smart Pro series sponsored by Freightliner, and may be the only truck driver in America who wears a tie to work every day. Henry is running with Fleet Engineers aerodynamic products on his truck because he sees results.

Saving Fuel for Henry

Question: What’s it like working with Henry Albert, and what challenges has he brought to Fleet Engineers?

Tom: It’s been a blast working with Henry. He’s always bringing new stuff to the table. He’s got a lot of innovative ideas and it’s fun trying to incorporate some of those into our everyday products.

Question: What are his main objectives?

Tom: Henry’s main goal is to increase his miles per gallon. Everything he does is to increase miles per gallon. The less fuel he has to spend, the more money he’s able to save.

Question: How have you, as an engineer, been able to help him with that?

Tom: The number one way we’re able to help him with that is with our side skirts. Our AeroSaver side skirts are able to help him reduce his fuel usage. We’ve worked hard to design the AeroSaver not only to be fuel efficient, but to be labor efficient as well. Our skirts are easy to install and easy to repair due to some innovative hardware we’ve developed called “Quick Mount” brackets, and “SkirtTrak” rail. Henry’s been really helpful in helping us test and refine these ideas. The other thing is our AeroFlap mud flaps, we’re able to cut down a little bit on fuel with those. Henry has been reminding us that safety is an important factor as well. The diamond shaped pattern of our AeroFlaps air holes help control rain spray, and that makes the road safer for everyone.
